I had a long conversation with an involuntary evacuee from New Orleans after Katrina. They rounded up all the people on high ground and shipped them out. He got on a plane and ended up in Tennessee and was bewildered as to where he actually ended up.

He told me of the Asian shop keepers who shot the looters. The looters were not armed and were driven away from the well armed Asians

Please do not be offended, but I dislike the term involuntary evacuee. Why did he not leave when the President asked everyone to leave? I know of plenty of people, both white and black, who packed up and moved out to other places until Katrina was over. My wife's BFF in college was one of them.
